Villette play

We thought we'd post a reminder of the play Villette - on stage since yesterday until November 12 at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough.

Villette is adapted by Lisa Evans, whose other adaptations for stage include Anne Brontë’s The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall and Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn. Director Laurie Sansom combines the powerful text with choreographed movement provided by theatre company Frantic Assembly.

The award-winning Frantic Assembly stand at the forefront of modern British physical theatre and over the past 10 years have become one of the most pioneering and exciting companies in the UK. The movement directors on Villette are Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett, who are founder members and joint Artistic Directors of the company.

Sounds very interesting and original, so if you are in the area don't hesitate: go and see it!

(We encourage possible readers to send in their reviews of any of the events we happen to mention here).
